ALBUM PREMIERE: We Are The In Crowd, ‘Best Intentions’

Things are looking up for Poughkeepsie punk-pop quintet We Are The In Crowd. Two years ago, the then-unsigned band was the victim of a MySpace hacker who deleted all of the band’s music. Now, the band’s set to release their debut album, Best Intentions, out next week on Hopeless Records. And Buzzworthy’s got the exclusive stream of the entire album ready for your consumption… now! (Take THAT, hackers!)

Like their Guaranteed to Disagree EP, Best Intentions — produced by Zachary Odom and Kenneth Mount — blends everyday slang (“This Isn’t Goodbye, It’s BRB”) with enduring sentiments (“Better Luck Next Time”). Over crunchy, yet radio-friendly, guitars, Taylor’s voice feels like Kelly Clarkson with a couple of tattoos and a more rebellious boyfriend. But we’ve got the entire album streaming below, so you can hear for yourself. So stop listening to us and listen to Best Intentions before the band hits the road with Mayday Parade and All Time Low.
